Causses du Quercy line Brive Dordogne Valley – Rodez
A journey between causses, valleys and wonders
From the rugged hills of the Corrèze to the Rodez promontory, you will be charmed by the vastness of the Quercy plateaus and many other landscapes that will reveal ...
... a most extraordinary site: Rocamadour, a jewel nestled in the beautiful Alzou canyon that slashes through the Causse de Gramat.
Once you come out of the stark limestone plateaux of the Causses, the train will take you into the opulent Lot valley, with Capdenac as the icing on the cake.
Soon, the dolce vita in Figeac, nestled between two causses, will try to hold you back with its city palaces, but the train ...
... the train is already leaving, heading to the charming valley of Marcillac. Before paying a tribute to the Master of Black, Pierre Soulages. Welcome to Rodez!
